However if you want to be seen on Global AIS systems like Marine Traffic, Ship Finder and AIS Hub, etc. then you will need to have and use an MMSI number. If you don't have an MMSI for your boat you can obtain one in the US by visiting http://www.boatus.com/mmsi (the USCG approved agent). Alternatively email us for a free internet MMSI number. Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. AIS Ship data is provided by a network of voluntary AIS shore based stations. Some areas may not have AIS coverage. N.B. This is not an AIS transponder. You will not be visible to other ships on their AIS systems unless they also use data from the same land based AIS networks. NOT FOR NAVIGATION This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful. Boat Beacon should only be used for basic navigation reference and should not be solely relied upon to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.
